Kūkyo   (空虚 Emptiness) Hankanshizo is a Monochrome female canine. She was formerly referred to as Emptiness until Nekh decided on her official name. She lives in Ka'gaeta along with the Mistakes but will go to Kanchinoku should Nekh or someone else seek her. She is a Successor: the Understanding.

About
Kūkyo  is a Monochrome canine dualfoot, who is capable of standing on both her hind legs, much like a biped, and also on all fours. She has green eyes. On her left arm, she wears an accessory similar to a leg warmer. Nekh treasures Kūkyo as much as Niku, and has requested that she come with them on adventuring trips. They have gone on a few, in some of which Niku and Kūkyo's teamwork was crucial.

Kūkyo was Nightborn, like Irrlicht. On the morning after her creation, she frightened Niku and started playfully chasing her around the room while barking. The racket woke Nekh up, who then caught Kūkyo and introduced her to Niku after she was calmed down. They decided to call her Emptiness for the time being.

Nekh sent her to a school in Kanchinoku to learn Kurei, Japanese, about the world and improve her speech. There she was made fun of and shunned because she was a Monochrome. Kūkyo became very quiet and requested that Nekh provide her with a knife. Nekh gave her a knife called Sairensu (サイレンス  Silence) and decided that she make the Japanese translation of her nickname her official name.
